DON'T LOOK BACK

Set in nineteenth-century England, this murder mystery entwines the lives of Lavinia Lake and her partner, Tobias March, as they investigate the murder of a family friend and try to locate the missing "Blue Medusa" stone. Youthful, stylish Lavinia Lake, also known as a hypnotist, uses her talents in a startling fashion to save her own life. Jennifer Wiltsie switches genders and characters and depicts madness, mesmerism, and murder with ease. Crisply done Cockney accents add charming flavor. G.D.W.
